Recycling of industrial catalysts

MAIREC is your specialist for the recycling of spent industrial catalysts of all types. Industrial catalysts are used in oil refining, petrochemical industry, and in the production of various basic, fine and intermediate chemicals. Precious metals, typically in mono- or bimetallic form, are usually applied to various carrier types in different shapes and sizes, depending on the application.

More added value by decoupling recycling from fresh catalyst production

Manufacturers of fresh catalysts often offer recycling in order to get the order for the production of new catalyst. By releasing yourself from this constraint, you will benefit from having your spent catalysts recycled more efficiently by a true specialist. MAIREC can transfer the recovered precious metals to the manufacturer of your choice. The separation of processes maximizes value for you to the highest level.
